Huaibei bandits!

Zhuang's firm!

Originally, King Chen did not contact Zhuang Ming with this matter.

After all, this is just a businessman, a white body, a common man.

But at this moment, when I heard this errand officer mention it, my heart was suddenly shocked.

"Zhuang's Firm ......"

King Chen closed his eyes slightly and said, "You go down first." ”

The officer hastily withdrew when he was amnesty.

After the rockery, the man in black walked out.

"What bandits, dare to ambush and kill the people of the government?"

"First killed eighty-five people under the command of this king, poisoned three hundred war horses, plundered ores, killed all the guards, and burned the armory. ”

"Bandits seek money, but they don't want to die. ”

But they clearly don't want to die, and they don't want money. ”

"This is for the king. ”

King Chen turned his head and said, "Do you know anything about this nest of bandits in Huaibei?"

The man in black said in a low voice: "I have just arrived, and my subordinates are with the prince, and I have come to Huai'an to take office, so I am not familiar with Huaibei. ”

Chen Wang said calmly: "Investigate! Check all the recent actions of the Zhuang Firm, what is the connection between it and this Huaibei bandit......

The man in black responded: "My subordinates understand that they will annihilate this group of bandits and return Huai'an to a bright future." ”

——

Half an hour later.

The man in black returned, but his expression was extremely strange.

"What's wrong?"

"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that not long ago, a batch of goods from Zhuang's trading house was robbed on the way to Guangfu, and the escort was killed, including a capable master under Zhuang Ming, named Lu Yang. ”

"It seems that Zhuang's firm came to report the case, but it is not false. King Chen frowned and said, "Is it really the king's mistake, between the two, it is not an embarrassment?"

"Lord Wang......" The man in black said: "According to the news, this group of bandits in Huaibei was surrounded and suppressed by the government, and they could not gain a foothold in Huaibei, and fled to Huai'an in a hurry. ”

"You mean, someone pretending to be a Huaibei bandit?"

"On the rivers and lakes, there is another rumor. ”

"Oh?" King Chen raised his eyebrows.

"I heard that this group of bandits from Huaibei came to Huai'an some time ago and intercepted a batch of goods from the Zhuang firm, but Zhuang Ming will repay him and use a martial arts master to annihilate them all. The man in black said this, and added: "It's just that the rumors are just rumors and have not been confirmed. ”

"Not confirmed yet?" Wang Chen asked, "What do you mean?"

"These Huaibei bandits fled to Huai'an, living in no fixed place, no exact place to stay, even if they were really destroyed by the Zhuang firm, they don't know where they were annihilated. The man in black replied: "Maybe it's in a deep mountain and old forest, maybe it's in a cave, maybe it's all buried casually, or it's eaten up by wild beasts......

"How did the news come out?"

"The news released by the Zhuang firm, and threatened that those who dared to rob the goods of the Zhuang firm would be wiped out. Putting these words out, presumably in order to deter bandits from all sides, but after the news was released by Zhuang's firm, this group of Huaibei bandits did not appear. ”

"Oh?"

King Chen clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Is it really him?"

Just businessmen and civilians, do they really have the guts to take such a big risk?

If this matter is verified, this king can punish him for the nine clans!

No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be this powerless businessman, but at this moment, it seems that it is really that disabled young man?

"The Huaibei bandits have not appeared for many days, even if this matter is really done by the Huaibei bandits, they should not leave a token. The man in black said in a low voice: "The other party deliberately left a token, which is a blatant provocation! And this Zhuang firm, which did not report the case earlier, has now come to report to the government, saying that it was too coincidental that the goods were intercepted by Huaibei bandits a few days ago. ”

"This is a blatant provocation!"

Chen Wang said coldly: "The token in the paper ash was left on purpose, and it was also intentional to come to report the case...... He deliberately told this king that this matter was the handiwork of his Zhuang firm!"

He looked fierce and shouted, "Zhuang Ming, you are looking for death!"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that not long ago on the ship, Zhuang Ming begged for mercy in the name of seeking cooperation, and after being rejected by himself, the other party did not show despair and discouragement, but left a sentence.

"Zhuang is very sincere, I will let the prince see my sincerity. ”

Sincerity!

This is what he calls sincerity?

In such a barbaric way, you want to force yourself to compromise?

"Lord ......"

"Mobilize the Zhennan Army. ”

King Chen said coldly: "Re-transfer the craftsmen, re-escort the ore and war horses, rebuild the armory workshop, and hand over all the escort and guard duties to the Zhennan army." In addition, send someone to keep an eye on Zhuang Ming, don't let him escape, tonight the king will see him first, you will give the order first, order someone to set up an ambush, and wait for the order of the king of Hou, and then behead him on the spot for the crime of assassinating the king!"

The man in black hurriedly answered, "Yes." ”

——

Qianlong Villa.

Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly, and in his hand, the young dragon swam slightly, and the whole body was transparent and colorless, like a cloud snake.

At this moment, Qianyang and Yin Ming have been sent out by him.

Bai Lao thoroughly investigated the interior and coordinated everything.

Lu He, Bai Qing, Liu He, Yue Yang and others called on the dead soldiers under their command to be ordered to act.

As for Qianyang and Yin Ming, under his control, they were not inferior to the martial arts masters, so they were also sent together.

This is also to ensure safety, after all, King Chen's command is not an idle person, or a mistake in calculation, I am afraid that the ambush will not succeed, but will be annihilated.

And with Qianyang and Yin Ming on this trip, you are completely sure that you can wipe out King Chen's command and put an end to the fish that slip through the net, so as not to leave a living mouth.

In addition, it is also to reduce casualties, after all, this group of people are all loyal to Zhuang Ming and are willing to die for him to ambush and kill the government, which shows that the belonging of the Zhuang family business house in their hearts is better than that of the Dongsheng Dynasty.

It is very rare to have such a dead soldier.

With Qianyang and Yin Ming, it can also reduce casualties and prevent accidents.

"It's finally done. ”

Zhuang Ming thought like this, stroking the young dragon in his hand, and slowly exhaled.

Since he started business, it was only when he was in the first business that there was a shortage of manpower, so he sent Qianyang and Yin Ming out, but later the business improved, so he always had to keep one of them by his side to protect his own safety.

But now it's different, after this young dragon opened his mouth, he swallowed a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, and in a short period of time, he made progress again, and now under his precise transportation, it may not be able to match the martial arts master, which is enough to protect his own safety.

In this way, he was able to rest assured that Qianyang and Yin Ming were all dispatched.

"Childe. ”

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and it was Lu He's voice.

Zhuang Ming was not surprised, Qianyang and Yin Ming were also among them, and he knew everything about Lu He and the others' every move.

Even many times, it was he who used Yin Ming's mouth to guide Lu He and others to act.

"Come in. ”

All the people outside the door entered in turn.

In addition to Bai Lao who was still busy, Lu He and the others who went to ambush and kill had all returned.

Zhuang Ming looked at everyone, more or less injured, sighed, and said, "It's hard work." ”

Lu He took a step forward, bowed down and said: "Yu Gongzi, this trip is headed by two adults, Qianyang and Yin Ming, Lu He, Bai Qing, Liuhe, and Yue Yang assisted from the side, and summoned his henchmen, a total of thirty-six people, on the orders of Gongzi, to ambush and kill, loot ore, poison war horses, burn the armory, after eight losses and five serious injuries, finally fortunately did not disgrace his life and completed all the orders of Gongzi. ”

When Zhuang Ming heard this, his expression darkened slightly, and he said: "Thirty-six people, all of them are people who have no worries, and there is nothing to say after death. ”

After a pause, he heard Zhuang Ming continue: "Today's thirty-six people, all of them remember their merits. Eight people who died this time were buried thickly, and their names were recorded, their portraits were painted, and the treasure house was sealed. If five people are seriously injured, they must be treated with all their might, and they will be generously rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. All the rest were rewarded with eight hundred silver. ”

Lu He and the others gave all the salutes, and they said softly.

And Qianyang and Yin Ming walked behind Zhuang Ming.

Lu He raised his head and said: "This time, I was able to complete the son's order, all because of the courage and invincibility of the two adults, Qianyang and Yin Ming, otherwise, with more than 30 people including me, I am afraid that I will live up to the high expectations of the son, and even if I can succeed, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties." ”

Hearing this, Bai Qing, Liu He, and Yue Yang all echoed and responded: "The two adults should be the first to take credit." ”

Zhuang Ming raised his hand slightly, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I know." ”

In fact, he has always had clear rewards and punishments, but because Qianyang and Yin Ming are ancient corpses, they are manipulated by him personally, so they rarely have any rewards.

It was because of this that Song Tianyuan felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it and tried to rebel against Yin Ming.

Presumably, in the eyes of these people, they also feel that they have treated the two martial arts masters badly in the past.

It's just that I didn't dare to say much in the past, for fear of offending my son, but today I dare to speak out, also because I fought side by side with Qianyang and Yin Ming, and everything was in my eyes.

Just as Zhuang Ming was about to continue to speak, he paused again.

Footsteps were heard outside the door.

Footsteps approached.

"Childe. ”

The voice of the family came, and said: "Lord Zhao invites you to hold a banquet tonight, and invite the son to his mansion for a talk." ”

Zhuang Ming said calmly: "Reply to the visitor, I know, I should go to the banquet tonight." ”

After finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "Presumably, Lord Zhao can't help himself at this moment, and the banquet tonight is nine times out of ten, and it is still from the hand of King Chen." ”

Several people looked at each other.

Yue Yang said in a low voice, "Shall we go with Gongzi?"

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Tonight is mainly to talk about things, not to go desperately, only Qianyang and Yin Ming are enough." Moreover, you have just killed people today, the murderous spirit has not dissipated, and the anger still exists, and you can't be as restrained as Qianyang and Yin Ming, so you will all stay in Qianlong Villa, so that you can live and recuperate, and don't go out in the near future. ”

Lu Heshi saluted: "Yes." ”

Then, he led Bai Qing, Liu He, and Yue Yang and retreated.
